Does the PVD finish scratches easily?

[thsiao]

I want to get a PVD finish B&R but I worry that it scratches easily. There are different grades of PVD quality (some are easier to scratch) so I was wondering if you guys could comment on what category the B&R PVD finish would fall into.

My only PVD watch right now is a Lum-Tec which has a pretty good quality PVD finish. I previously had a Welder and the PVD on that one was not good... you could tell it was poor and scratched very easily when changing straps.

Thanks.

Absolutely no scratches on mine so far. Still looks like new

I have all metal door jams at work and I have banged my B&R against it many times. Last week I did it again very hard and I looked down and saw a scratch but upon further investigation it wasn't a scratch in the PVD it was paint from the metal door jam lol.

As hard as I have banged my B&R I am surprised there are no scratches or chips.

It is, I am very impressed with B&R. I only wish their lume was as good as their PVD process lol.

Hi There!
My first post here....
Got a BR02 Carbon (Arabic), no problem with the PVD.
Lume is not that bad, but not as good as my Sinn U1 however...

I've always thought the BR02 lume to be excellent and as good as my other watches

I have had my BR03 for 2 years now. Its had multiple impacts with doors (metal and wood). As another poster mentioned I often thought I scratched the PVD but its always paint from the other side coming off. I've even taken a chunk out of a wood garage door.

I have a BR03-94 pvd finish. I work in construction and beat the crap out of the watch and have no scratches- unlike my Rolex Sub I stopped wearing b/c of how easily it scratched.

Wearing mine for 6 weeks now and earlier today smacked the PVD on my Tungsten wedding band and I nearly lost it. Everthing is good though no ding or scratches..
